Making only four.FOUR LOSERSSouth is in danger of three losers, but he can hope to discard a diamond from dummy on a club winner.

At Trick Two, South leads a club to dummy’s queen, then a club to his ten and West’s ace.South can win the diamond return and d...

Many details about the show remain shrouded in secrecy to preserve its hoped-for wow factor. The security, with tens of thousands of police and soldiers deployed, will be intense.The athletes will be paraded through the heart of the French capital on boats on the Seine — for the first Summer Games opening ceremony held outside of a usual stadium setting. Both banks of the river will be lined by hundreds of thousands of spectators.“We are preparing an opening ceremony that is unique, which I hope will make the French very proud,” Macron told public broa...

Coach Xavi Hernández apparently has had enough, and is demanding immediate changes if the team still wants to succeed this season.Xavi didn’t spare anyone in a heartfelt news conference after yet another disappointing performance by his team to beat last-placed Almeria 3-2 in the Spanish league on Wednesday.
